Mayor Sam Adams

Portland is a leader in sustainable and healthy living, and it's celebrated for its innovation and forward thinking. But sustainability isn't just about the economy and the environment. Social sustainability, including public health and social equity, is also a key aspect of a completely sustainable community.

The National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) is a giant step in the direction of building a healthier community and achieving social sustainability. As Portland's largest natural health care clinic, NCNM will provide health care to nearly 20,000 Portlanders and train hundreds of students to be natural health care professionals in its first year of operation.

Mayor Adams had the opportunity to speak at the clinic's grand opening and articulate the value that NCNM brings to our community. Take a look and congratulations to NCNM!
